This system was
developed by the W. Edwards Deming's. This is a process of improvement cycle.
The word PDCA stands for plan, do, check and in the end is adjust. This
improvement cycle is consisting of four phases and these four phases are
explained in detail (Basu & Wright, 2012).
Plan of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
For the planning
the organization has to develop rough structure of their problem. In this rough
structure three things are very much important that includes the organization
has to define clear and main objective according to their organization. The
next important thing is the organization has to collect as many information
regarding any issue in their organization. The last thing is that the
organization has to ask as many questions to their employees so that they can
able to plan the predictions regarding the problem (Brenig-Jones
& Dowdall, 2018).
Outline a problem of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
This is the
first phase of the improvement process in which the organizations have to make
an outline of the problem that is regarding to quality, manufacturing or may be
production.
The organization
have to compared this problem with the past condition of the organization and
then according to that problem the organization have to plan the task that they
have to be implemented in the future. The organization has to agree on these
entire goals that will be implemented for the future and also plans the future
outcomes regarding to that problem. Then after this the next tip for planning
is that the organization has to arrange all the members and also measure the
expect time for improving this problem. This means that if the problem is too
big for the organization so, for this they have to arrange more people so that
they are able to handle this problem according to the planned time. The last
and most important tip for handling the problem is that the organization has to
arrange proper analysis against the problem so that they can easily able to
establish the main cause of this problem (Chiarini, 2012).
Do SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
This is the next
phase of the improvement process. In this phase the organization has to do
according to the plan what they have made according to the problem or may be
change in their organization. The organization also has to work whether this
plan is proper or not. This means that they have to test this plan for the future
and then after this they have to discuss the errors in that plan (Taghizadegan,
2010).
Fix a problem of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
After the plan
has been designed for the problem so in the Do phase the organization has to do
work to fix that problem easily.
The organization
has to develop countermeasures for fixing the required problem means that if
the organization works on the countermeasures so that they can easily access to
the main root cause of that problem (Snee, 2010).
In the Do phase
the employees and the leaders of the organization have to be united against the
problem and they have to coordinate with each other for implementing some test
for the solution of the problem. The employees also have to minimize all the
outside errors during the test so that the test can be easily implemented. In
the Do phase the organization must have to focus on the document of the plan
because in the plan document there is complete demonstration about the plan so
if they don’t follow that plan so they many deviate from the main issue (Taghizadegan,
2010).
Check of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
This is the
third phase of the improvement process. In this phase the organizations have to
check out all the plans and after this they have to collect the feedback about
the plan which has been implemented. Then after this the organization has to
analyze all the data regarding this study because according to that data the
organization will able to implement that plan in their organization for
removing the required problems and also if they want any change in their
organization. These all things are implemented on the basis of these data of
the organization (Pepper & Spedding, 2010).
Access if the problem is fixed of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
The organization
have to analyze the data and then after this they have to compare this data
with the required plan so according to that plan if the problem is fixed so
there is no need of the next phase.
And if the data
that has been analysed is not according to the required plan so this will be
transferred to the next phase. The organization has to document all the results
and learning from this cycle.
Act/adjust of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
This is the last
phase of the improvement process and this phase is linked with the check
process. When the data is analysed in the check phase so, the data is not
according to the plans of the organization so the organizations have to work
hard on adjusting the data according to the requirement. And if the data which is analysed is
according to the plan of the organization so there is no need of this phase
because this phase is just for the correction of the required data (Truscott,
2012).
Fine tune the fix of SIX SIGMAS BY DEMING
After checking
the results are not matched with the documented plan of the organization so the
organization has to fine tune these results for getting the required results to
solve the problem and fix the issue of the organization.
When this
problem has been solved so the organization will has to move towards the next
issue and plan for the next cycle of improvement.
What is six sigmas?
The system that
was developed by engineer Bill smith and it is a very comprehensive system. This
system was developed to improve the quality and efficiency of the products and
this system is implemented by a hierarchy of roles across the organization.
